Rinascimento Bed & Breakfast was a wonderful place to stay while in Pisa. The owners/hosts, Andrea and Andy, are absolutely the best. They are friendly, accommodating, welcoming, and helpful. Our room was very comfortable. Breakfast was just right. If you'd like, they will make a great cappuccino for you. The location was also perfect, in the heart of everything. We had two large pieces of luggage with wheels and it was an easy 10 to 15 minute walk from the train station.
One evening Andy had left a note on the desk counter near the front door recommending a restaurant not far from Rinascimento B&B. Alle Bandierine (address: Via Mercanti 4). It's an easy 5 or 6 minute walk in the direction of the train station but much closer as you don't cross the bridge over the Arno River. As is typical for dinner this restaurant opens at 7:30PM. We arrived at about 7:50PM and we almost couldn't get in. I suggest arriving a few minutes before it opens. The food and service were excellent. I highly recommend giving it a try. Do stay away from Anita Osteria for dining.
Another suggestion made by Andrea is to walk on the top of the wall. This wall was built in the mid 12th century and offers great views. It's the oldest wall in all of Italy.
If someday a return to Pisa is in the cards, I will definitely stay at Rinascimento Bed & Breakfast again. A warm and inviting place to stay in a perfect location. I highly recommend this B & B. read more
